Darkness
There is a darkness within me
I can feel it growing strong
Feeling so cold
As I am trapped in my own hell
My soul is the link
Keeping me here in this
world
Part of me already feels
Dead and in the ground
I stare into the mirror
Cracked from the anger
Hands bleeding foundly
Chunks of glass fall to
the floor
Staring into eyes so hollow
I do not recognize myself
anymore
Who is this stranger I have
become?
Or was this who I was meant
to be all along
No one knows my inner
demons
The ones that constantly
Destroy me from the inside
out
As the old saying goes
We are our worst enemy
In my case its true
No one hurts me
Like I hurt myself
Its not a physical thing at
all
For emotional pain can be
so much more
As I sit in the darkness
Not wanting to be found
Longing to be alone
Even for a little while
On a mission to find my
the missing part
Of who I used to be
But part of me knows
The woman I used to be
Is now dead and gone
Morphed and formed into this
creation
By the hands of perverison
and self doubt
I do not see myself as others
do
My reflection is beyond
reality
Darkness shall take us all
For in the end death is nothing
but
Silence and darkness
The voices in my head
Feed the insanity running through
my veins
Morphine infected eyes
Make me see things through
Crimson filled lies
Nothing is what it seems
When your stuck in your
own delusions
But I have come to realize
the truth of at least one thing
I realize I am the darkness
all along

While to have the desolation and desperation feel in here, I don't see the rest of it, which is what I was really looking for...
Nevertheless, thank you for an interesting read
